This house is even better in person. The woodwork throughout the house, nice furnishings, and art made it feel extra luxury. It is quite clear that the owners love it and maintain it well. Great views from the deck , the kids loved the big pool, and it was fun to see horses amble through the property. To get to the beach we walked through a vacant lot and over the dunes, or drove our truck out. The beach was busier than I anticipated with traffic , and making sure the little ones in our group didn’t walk out in front of a car every time they wanted to get a bucket of water was a little unnerving. The beach is great for boogie boarding. Owner communication was plentiful and prompt, and when we had a mishap with the storm blowing the hot tub cover off and breaking a pipe there was help out immediately. I will say all owner communication, even the welcome letter, had an air of disdain and annoyance to it. The owner texted asking why the hot tub cover wasn’t latched down (it wasn’t latched when we arrived at the house, I wasn’t aware it needed to be) and to “use common sense,”a phrase also echoed in the welcome letter. I try to put myself in their shoes renting out a house they are quite attached to, and I’m sure it IS annoying. I probably wouldn’t want to do it! But the house is great, and we had a great time!
